First time in Baton Rouge. Great location for LSU visit. Breakfast was awesome! Staff super friendly and helpful and fun! Room was perfect! Will definitely be back.
Staff was very courteous. In the middle of the night, all power went out. It was really really hot in the hallways, even with the power being on. Great location near the university.
Clean rooms and pleasant staff. Only one elevator working so had to wait a while sometimes. Convenient location. Breakfast buffet was sparse but am sure everyone can find at least something to their liking. Coffee available 24 hours.
Very clean and comfortable rooms. Bed was comfortable and I love the pillows. Location is also very convenient. Breakfast is good, when I get to wake up on time for it.
Best location if you’re visiting LSU. We were close to everything and it made things super convenient. We would stay here every time we visit my son at LSU, but it books up quickly for events or weekends during football and baseball season.
The staff was great! The room was either extremely hot or extremely cold. You could hear everything that was going on outside. The beds were very comfortable. Middle of the road kind of place to stay.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had a great experience at Sonesta. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making my stay very enjoyable.
One of the highlights of my visit was having the opportunity to meet the General Manager. She was extremely professional, personable, and genuinely cared about the guest experience. It was clear that her leadership sets the tone for the entire team because every staff member I encountered represented her and the hotel exceptionally well.
Excellent customer service is hard to find, and the team at Sonesta delivered it consistently. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with outstanding hospitality.
Welcoming smell in the lobby and throughout the entire building, clean and spotless room and hallways, good breakfast.

Good stay, decent room, bed was really comfy. Fan in bathroom was insanely loud and woke up the other members of my party but that’s about it! Good place!
